“Relabeling the remaining forces in Iraq 'non-combat troops' will
not
change the fact that these occupations are being perpetuated
to
maintain a criminal empire.”

organizer, former Airborne
soldier, Iraq veteran, and Afghanistan war
resister. “President Bush
would often boast that, under his watch, the United
States hadn't been
attacked since September 11, but the working class has
been attacked
every day since.”

the
combat regions will only spread the violence further.
